HGSE-NOZZLE SUPEGRT.

Application filed Specification of Letters ctober 141, 1908.

' and JAY B. i l OLCOTT, citizens of the United States, residing at Flint, in the county of Genesee and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful 1.1 se-Nozzle Support, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to means for securely holding the nozzle of a fire hose, and the object of these improvements is to provide a supportwhich shall be fully adjustable, of great strength for its weight, and which can be constructed at low cot.

Our invention consists in the con'ibination of a tripod, and a frn e swiveled thereon, the frame being formed with depressed portions to receive the nozzle and with a loelrlng device to hold the nozzle in position.

in the accompanying drawing, Fig

a plan of this improved nozzle hold 2 is a side elevation of the cross section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Similar reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.

The drawings show a hose nozzle holder, embodying our invention, formed of pipe and he ordinary pipe fittings to be found in the market. Our object in illustrating our invention in this manner 1s to emphasize the ease in which the device may be cons rusted and not to limit ourselves, the tubes may be joined in any other desired manner or may be bent where fittings are now em loyed to form corners.

The frame of the support is mounted on three legs 1, 2, and 3, the legs 1 and 2 being connected by elbows 6 and short tubes th: 1 screw into a cross 5. On these tubes are loosely mounted the Ts 7 which connect to elbows 6 and these elbows in turn are connected to the T 8 by short nipples. The log 3 screws into the "i" 8.

Pivotally mounted in the cross 5 is a stem. 9 which screws into the T 10. Tubes 11 and 12 screw into this T and into the elbows 13 and 14 respectively. The Te 15 and 16 eonnect to the elbows 13 and 14 respectively by short nipples 17. Cross pieces 18 connect the Ts 15 and 16 to the Te 19' and 20. The connections between the T5 19 and 20 on each side are formed by the nipples 21, elbows 22, nipples 23, elbows 24, nipples 25, elbows 26, nipples 27, elbows 28 and pipes 29. The Fe 19 are connected by the tubes 30,Ts 31 and tube 32. The elbows 20 and 1 eyes 89 mounte on the pipe 31 are preferably equidistant from the nip- The hose nozzle is laid across the frame in t1 depressions formed by elbows 22, 24, and 2e and the nipples benveen them, indicated by the dotted circle A in Fig. 3. To hold the nozzle in osition an auxiliary frame is formed b I fs 34., journaled on the cres pipe 18, side bars the elbows 36 and the cross bar 37, which frame is provided with any desirable n'ieans to hold it d wn, such the heel: 38 that the The sizes of the different parts will depend upon tee load to be carried. The length of the nipples 17, 23 and 27 will be determined by the diameter of the hose nozzle, although the parts 35 may be be t permit a nozzle of dif erent size to be secured. The angle between the legs and between them and the ground ""ill determine the inclination of the frame. The frame being secured to the stem 9 turns ith it, being therefore pivoted in the cross 5.

Handles may be inserted in the openings of the elbows 20 and 31 if desired although under normal conditions the frame may be swung by grasping the parts 18 and 32. The prop rtions shown have been found satisfactory but they, together 'e'ith the details, may be varied as found desirable without departing from the spirit of our invention.

Having now explained our improvements, what we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a hose nozzle support, the combination of a socket, legs upon rhich the same is mounted, a stern mounted in the socket, a frame-work of connected bars carried by the stem, and an auxiliary frame hinged to said frame-work for securin the nozzle in position.

2. in a hose nozzle support, the combination of a socket, a cross bar extending from each side of the same, a leg connected to the outer end of each cross bar, a third leg, a connection on the upper end of said third leg engaging the cross bars at each side of the socket, a stem mounted in the socket, a rectangular fr me mounted on the stem, and means for securing a hose nozzle to said frame.

3. In a hose nozzle support, the combination of a tripod, a stem revolubly mounted thereon, a cross bar mounted on said stem, a frame, comprising side and end bars, connected to the ends of the cross bar, the said side bars being formed with depressed portions to receive a hose nozzle.

4. In a hose nozzle support, the combina tion of a tripod, a stem revolubly mounted thereon, a cross bar mounted on said stemfa rectangular frame comprising side bars, end

' bars,'and a transverse bar parallel to the end bars, said side bars being formed With depressions to receive a hose nozzle, a U-shaped auxiliary frame mounted on the transverse bar, and means to secure the auxiliary frame down onto the hose nozzle to hold it in posi tion.

In testimony whereof, We have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
